Sat on his front porch
Said "kids, get off my lawn"
Thought modern music
Was wicked devil spawn

Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was
Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was

He said that prices
Were always too high
It's too cold in April
Too hot in July

Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was
Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was

[Spoken]

I've been out here for two minutes, where's the bus?

The house needs to be painted again? I just painted it 20 years ago!

Why can't I use my floppy disks in my phone?

We can put a man on the moon, why can't we invent self-cleaning underwear?

What's with all these fancy computer games these days? Pong should be good enough for everybody!

Look, I told you I would fix the hole in the wall! You don't have to remind me every six months!

[End spoken]

He'd go out to eat
For some soup or fish & chips
Then he'd say that it was awful
And not leave a tip

Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was
Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was

Completely consistent
We knew what to expect
So now on his tombstone
It is written with respect

Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was
Ooooh, what a grumpy man he was

[Spoken]

What is this, the afterlife? Looks boring.

Are we just supposed to float on these clouds all day?

What are all these dogs doing here?

Isn't there anything to eat besides loaves and fishes?

Does it have to be so bright all the time?

Will you people please stop playing those bloody harps?
